How Does OneHealthPort Determine Which Services and Products to Provide?

As an intermediary, OneHealthPort is in service to all our customers. We do not unilaterally develop products. Our job is to understand the common needs of our public and private sector customers, develop capabilities to meet those needs and deploy services in the marketplace. Sometimes, we take the lead in developing technology solutions and standardized best practices, and sometimes we partner with national organizations that have similar goals to leverage our local capabilities and serve broader populations.

What is OneHealthPort’s Role with the State?

In Washington State, we have the unique role of “Lead Organization, ” directing Administrative Simplification efforts in partnership with the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC), and leading implementation of Health Information Exchange in partnership with the Washington State Health Care Authority. We are charged with running our Lead Organization services like a business, but in the public interest.
